Houthis Claim Drone Attack on Saudi Aramco Refinery Amid Renewed Yemen Conflict
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed a drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Aramco refinery in the Jizan region, describing it as a precise strike in response to alleged Saudi violations of Yemeni airspace and sovereignty. This marks the third such attack amid renewed conflict following the collapse of a years-long truce between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government. The Houthis also announced a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia in July, escalating tensions that affect regional oil and shipping infrastructure amid broader Middle East conflicts.
